Forum rules
This forum is for SDS contest rules, entries, questions, and results. Each contest will have a set of rules posted above the topics, and commenting will open when the contest goes live. Enjoy!

Welcome! This is the first of two contests that will be held for a signed advanced-readers-copy (ARC) of EXTREMIS! Why are these worth having? As Dr. Gannon himself said, there are only a few copies of ARCs printed and usually few or none signed. In terms of rarity, that makes these two books some of the most unique copies of EXTREMIS in existence!

So what is the contest?

Easter Egg Hunt. That's right, Easter Eggs. Dr. Charles Gannon spent some time writing for the Traveller game system. And one of the things he did while writing EXTREMIS was to drop in a handful of easter eggs related to Traveller. Like what? Ahhhhh you're tricky... you figure it out!

During the month of September we will be accepting emails at contests@starfiredesign.com or responses to this topic as entries towards this contest. Just type up what you think are Traveller Easter Eggs in the book and email or put them here as a topic. Just so you know, this forum is permission only so any entries submitted here will not show up until the end of the contest!
